Shoot on Phantom Flex + Alexa Mini
with Arri Master Primes
Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss
DownloadDirected by: Adrián Egea
Shot this tabletop beauty for Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss with director Adrián Egea at Finesse, and we went dual-camera on it, Phantom Flex and Alexa Mini, both locked with Arri Master Primes. The brief called for that slow-motion liquid poetry you see in premium coffee spots, so the Phantom gave us the frame rate flexibility to stretch those cream swirls into something almost tactile, while the Mini handled the locked-off beauty passes with that digital sharpness clients want in close-up. Master Primes are the obvious choice for tabletop, they're just clinical enough to render every surface without that clinical feeling. The real work was timing the pour and the light, getting the milk to catch without blowing the highlights on the cup. Nothing revolutionary in the approach, but clean execution and the right tools make all the difference in this space.
